Information

Summary

List of gluten-free products for people with gluten intolerance. A speech-recognition search engine allows the user to check (from the description, brand, or manufacturer of a food item) whether that food is listed by the app as gluten free. A database of hotels, pizzerias, and restaurants that offer products suitable for people with gluten intolerance is filtered by category and geographic location. Information can be shared by email. Functions offline (online connection only necessary to receive periodic updates). The app requires online registration with the Italy-based patient group, Associazione Italiana Celiachia (AIC).

Reviews

Reviewer: Associazione Italiana Celiachia (AIC) [Italian Coeliac Association] Onlus, ItalyReview: “The main feature of our app is the ability to consult the database of gluten-free foods—which can be done either in an analytical way (looking for products by category, manufacturers, or brands), or by using keywords that will be searched on the full product descriptions. Searches are made without access to a network because the database is fully established in the memory of the smart phone. This way of consulting the database is novel, and gives immediate results.”Source:http://bit.ly/MWywrOUsage: Not specifiedWeblink of reviewer:http://bit.ly/16YlUbNReviewer: Gruppo Celiachia della Svizzera Italiana [Coeliac Group of Italian Switzerland], SwitzerlandReview: “Ready access to information at the point of decision.
